I DIDN'T GET THE MAN THAT I HOPED FOR

I really didn't.

I never hoped for a Godly man who would treat me like a princess and who would be kind to me at all times (even when I'm hangry).

I never hoped for a man who would be emotionally secure, and responsible with his finances and health.

I never hoped for a man who would be a good Leader in our relationship, or would be a good role model to my kids for what a loving relationship looks like.

I never hoped for a man who I would love deeply and who would love me back in the same way.

I didn't get the man that I hoped for.

I got the man that I PRAYED for.

I have been divorced since 2006. It took 16 years of praying specifically for a man like Paul. 16 very long and very trying years. Sure, I kissed a few toads along the way but I knew in my heart (and verified by my list in my prayer journal) that I needed to wait and trust God to do His work. 16 years.

Dating after divorce is hard, and dating after 50 is even harder!

Hope is not a plan

Sis, you need to know exactly what you want in a partner. You cannot hope for the biggest decision of your life !

Hope is not a plan especially when it comes to dating after 50. It's important to know what you want and never settle for less than you deserve. Our time is too precious to waste away with anyone undeserving.

Whether you voice your requests to God, Allah, or you practice manifesting ... you need to be crystal-clear in what you are asking for. Don's be shy. GO BIG!! And be patient.

I didn't really elaborate here, but I hope I made my point in this post. Hope is not a plan. Know what you want and stay focused. (Think about this in other areas of your life as well like your career, your relationships with your kids, and your finances.)

He will be worth it! I promise!

Stay focused and stay happy! Love, Jen
